# Quicksilver Fee Structure

### **3.5% Fee on Staking Rewards**

Quicksilver charges a **3.5%** fee on staking rewards, applied automatically at the end of every **epoch** (3 days).

***

### **Native Token Fees**

The protocol collects fees in each onboarded chain’s native token (e.g., **ATOM**, **STARS**) when compounding rewards.

***

### **Redistribution to QCK Stakers**

All fees collected by the protocol are redistributed to **QCK stakers**, aligning community incentives and supporting ongoing protocol development.

***

### **Token Transfer Mechanism**

The Quicksilver application provides a user-friendly feature to **send tokens back to their origin chain** or directly to **Osmosis** via the appropriate IBC routes. This ensures seamless movement of assets within the Cosmos ecosystem.
